In any case, my problems are not too serious, they´re only funny because they´ll cause you problems due to I´m going to write in english everything that I want to tell about my experience in New York. Ufa! mum, are you breathing? and pop...are you laughting about mum...?
WHAT?? Fifth line of the first pharagraf. Read it again.
HOW?? I don´t think that I get to write as funny as I did it before, but I´m going to try it. I promise.
WHY?? Practice, practice and practice. My purpose is to learn more english vocabulary and to feel more confortable with the language having new words and idioms in my mind. I´ll think only in english, I´ll read only in english, I´ll write only in english...although it will be like a book for a baby...I don´t care. I love books! I love children! So I imagine that I love children´s book!
WHERE?? WHEN!!! In the same place, at the same hour....very often.
Ok mum, you´ll feel better when pop or uncle J. Angel translate my stories for you. As a result...I won´t receive many replies, I guess. But I can balance this lack with The NatYorkTimes´s blog. I enjoy with Gugu a lot...
After telling you about the problem of Houston and me, I´d like to gab with you about my last challenge in this intense, exciting and windy city. Yes, intense...although I´m an idle-unemployed person. Yes, exciting...although the cold weather is trying to kill me. Yes, windy...because of the strong wind, two people have died today in a construction building. That´s not a joke...But, talking about construction...a word that I´ve almost forgotten if not is because I had an interview today for a Real Estate Company. It was at 3p. It was near home. It was with the big boss and...it was good. They built an important apartment building near Prospert Park. A building designed for the known architect Richard Meier. I´ve been reading about that, because it´s very interesting. I recommend that you do the same. It´s an intelligent building called ON IN PROSPERT PARK. Research it in google and, after that...cross your finger that I get the job! They asked me about my economic expectation...a small income would be nothing bad, but my goal is to improve my english (I repit again) and to get a fluent, persuasive, coherent language while I´m working in my field, that is...architecture?? writer?? I haven´t forgotten at all, but you Know that I´m as absent-mind as my father. When I was child I thought that he was miner...!! not comment. I´ve just learnt that he is writer...
To finish this first english text, I add you only a few random things about me and personality. Facts, habits or goals that I wrote for facebook and they will help to my family to understand me better, to understand why I am here, why I haven´t still gone to Spain, why I am not married...shut up, Natalia!! You´re going to loose your place in the inheritance...
Here it goes...
1. My conservative grandfather always believed that I was born two months premature. My mother was two months pregnant when she was married.
2. All the family was looking forward to the first girl. They took a misfortune when they saw the ugly baby that it was.
3. From Madrid to New York, through Gerona, Cordoba, Huelva, Don Benito, Badajoz, Seville, Badajoz, Estepona, Benalmádena and Marbella. It has been 30 years of trip already.
4. In any case… the trip to the moon continues being my favorite trip. I use to go a short time every day.
5. But I don´t have favourite book, neither film, food, artist, actor, architect or writer. Too many good ones to like only one.
6. Basketball, padel, cycling, sailing, swimming or "open bar", but always growing with some sport.
7. I´ve always been a good "open bar" player but, with the age, I need more training, altough I continue leaving the podium high (keeping a good score). My 16 year old sister will do it better than me.
8. And my sister: one of my loves.
9. And my loves: I love them with intensely.
10. And intensely alive every day. Tomorrow already will be another one.
11. At the age of 6, like 20 wasps stung me in the ass. The swelling hasn´t yet recovered…
12. I like getting to know all of you.
13. I grew up without being outstanding in anything. Average grades, medium height, neither blond nor brown, nor good-looking nor ugly. The only unique thing was my last name.
14. If I marry someday, I would not buy a $3000 dress for one day… we are crazy?
15. But I´d spend it in a trip.
16. I like the chocolate as much as the wine. And the wine as much as sex. And all of them, better in good company.
17. And I am quite easy to take… but not to the bed.
18. And I value the good manners as much in the bed… as at the table. I like the good education.
19. I have always thought that if something bad happens to me it is because something better is in store.
20. I am a very independent person, but I like to go accompanied: and luck never fails me.
21. Because although without fortune I have always been very lucky.
22. I prefer imperfection to perfection...and, that is not because my right foot is a bigger than the left one...
23. I have my first wrinkles, but it´s not from age, it´s from laughing every day.
24. And open minded and respectful, I enjoy the sea as much as the mountains, the field and the city, white and black, lefts and rights, rich and poor.
25. My present state: idle architect, freckled without complex without too many problems…
After my first english text, I wish you a good friday - for people who continue reading me every day -, good month - for people that prefer to read the spanish NatYorkTimes - and good semester for people who is making friendship with Gugu. Gugu, be ready for my comeback to Spain!!

So, we have to answer you in english??...................... HI, I'M MUZZY, BIG, BIG MUZZY... Afther my stay in France I'm afraid that it is the only thing that I can write in English, I extracted the whole English of my head to put the whole French that I could, and after this I became idiot. C'est la vie!
Wrap up yourself, Paracetamol and a lot of water (Veterinarian's advice, If the problem was a fracture my advice would be different...)
See you!
It is not fair Natalia, it's not fair…. I’ve had to be near 10 minutes translating your new post to your Aunt…, if your mother ask me for… I’ll commit suicide….
I was joking, you know I love English, and Portuguese and Catalan (no this no…), and I’ve enjoyed once again with your imagination and your irony, and … And now even in so good English…. I have needed to look for some words in a dictionary, and I couldn’t discover any mistake. It’s great, your improvement is so impressive (remember, in two words).
And it is not only what you say but how you tell it, when I was reading and even when I was translating in a loud voice it sounded wonderful… (even in a bad fast translation). Just a week ago we were wondering if you would leave architecture to write (don’t forget take notes for your first novel about your experience in NY). I’m sure it is a natural skill and as I told just some days ago, now it is your duty, you have to develop it. Sorry, it is your fault …. Please don’t leave witting.
Congratulations and please continue!!!!!!!!!!!!!
